Community Care is Cost-Effective Care

Did you know that community care is drastically lower in cost than hospital care? On average, treatment at a hospital outpatient setting is 38% more expensive than treatment at a community oncology practice like ECHO.

Consider the following:

Cost Comparison: Treatment at Yale costs significantly more than ECHO 

• Pharmaceutical Drugs cost +136% more
• Drug Administration cost +65% more 
• Evaluation and Management cost +30% more
• Laboratory and Pathology cost +242% more

Cancer care is stressful! Why pay more to get the lifesaving treatment you need. ECHO provides the same, if not higher quality care, at a lower cost. Don’t take our word for it. Let the numbers speak.
